Picture
Z Jeffries grew up in horse country of the Southeastern United States, daydreaming of adventures while mucking stalls, mowing endless lawns, and working in local restaurant kitchens. Though he continued to work an eclectic mix of jobs, from fake patient for med school to private investigator, he always pursued storytelling; acting, improvising,  producing theatre, screenwriting, or finally, novel writing. Now residing in the Midwestern United States, he now works the hardest and most rewarding job of his life as a dad. During nap times and evenings, Jeffries wrote The Hide & Seek Chronicles and Pro Wrestling Saves Earth. He also writes Young Adult contemporary fantasy under the name Zachary Jeffries.

Zachary Jeffries hails from the southeastern United Sates where his first jobs were lawn mower, pizza cook, and stable hand. His overactive imagination and love for reading led to to various routes of storytelling through improv, screenwriting, and the Chicago theatre scene. After working under a myriad of names, Jeffries now writes contemporary Young Adult fantasy brimming with tropes, humor, and action. Along with The Unseen Curse and Angel of Fate, Jeffries also publishes middle grade books under the pen name Z Jeffries. You can read books from either pseudonym by signing up at ZJeffries.com.

Yes, they're the same person.

Mission as Z Jeffries

Mission as Zachary Jeffries

I write middle grade science fiction to fight white supremacy, specifically the recruitment of young white boys. The main characters are confronted about their personal biases and/or priveledge, and these characters have messy conversations with messy feelings before internalizing, learning, and moving on. I stand behind this approach as a means to uncover the bigotry I have internalized, in any form: mysogyny, racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia. All are rooted in white supremacy, and I hope the white boys I write about empowers real white boys everywhere to exercise empathy.

I'm here to put relationship-driven stories into high concept, fast-paced contemporary fantasy plots. I love using elements from paranormal romance, urban fantasy, magic academia, and reimagining. And the worlds I make are all-encompassing magic systems: they are worlds where every myth, every religion, every fairy tale has at least some truth to it, some basis in that reality. 
​So hopefully I get better at writing while I test-drive these multiple magic systems in high-octain, character-driven fntasy novels.
